7 Cross Street
Lovely. Stair only access, and the rooms are quite small, but right in the middle of it all. Not the quietest hotel, but nice.

The Dean Galway
Very nice place to stay. Coffee shop downstairs is good but they seemed understaffed for how busy the morning rush was. Walls were a bit thin.

The Galmont
Excellent hotel right in the center of Galway. A little pricey and room was too far from the reception but amenities were excellent and breakfast was very good.
